"I have found your Bowfit products to be an absolute necessity in any archer's duffle bag. I personally found it to be my most useful tool while training for my African Big 5 hunt this past season. When shooting bows set at 106lbs., you never want to go more than a day without shooting. Having the Bowfit with me at all times assured me that I could stay in the proper shape needed. The Bowfit now goes with me on every hunt no matter where I'm hunting. Thank you so much for all your help." |

| -In the Feb/Mar 2000 issue of Bowhunter Magazine article Strong Shoulders, Dwight Schuh said "Over the years I've had some painful shoulder problems, primarily an impinged rotator cuff in my bow shoulder. The tubing exercises listed in the BowFit brochure have helped me considerably. They are designed by a professional physical therapist for archers and bowhunters." |

-Professional archer, Randy Ulmer stated in a recent bowhunting publication: " One key tenet of injury prevention in all sports is proper warmup, and archery is no different from any other sport ( except that very few people warm up before they shoot a bow). One of the best ways to prevent athletic injury is to prepare muscles, tendons and ligaments for the stress of the sport--before you begin......Dwight Schuh introduced me to a rubber device called the Bowfit that works very well for this purpose." |
| Bowfit is perfect to use as a warm up tool. The resistance can be easily adjusted and it works the same muscles used in pulling back a bow. We recommend drawing back on light resistance and hold for 5-10 seconds. Repeat this motion 10 times before shooting. Bowfit is small and compact enough to warmup and keep muscles loose while sitting long hours in the treestand. |

-Several years ago while on a bowhunt to northern Idaho, I took a serious fall off a ledge. I fell over 20 feet, seriously injuring my shoulder. It was months before I could even draw a light bow. In order to shoot a bow without pain, I had to practice every day. This seemed to keep my muscles in shape and my shoulder loosened up. |
| I make my living shooting a bow as host of Bowhunter Magazine's American Archer T.V. show. So, you can imagine how important it is that I am able to draw back my bow when needed. With my active schedule, I am often away from home for extended periods. Many times these trips are not bowhunting excursions but, sport shows and seminars. Keeping my shoulder in shape is often difficult as hauling my bow along is not an option. |
| With the Bowfit, I can now stay loosened up and in shape year round, no matter where my travel plans may take me. It is a quality product made for bowhunters and archers and is a great training tool and therapy for bowbenders such as myself. I would highly recommend Bowfit to any and all bowhunters and archers.

-I contacted Dave Cole with Bowfit about 6 months ago. In the past, I have had problems with a pinched nerve and in 1996, I shot with excruciating pain. A chiropractor has kept me going ever since then and as long as I follow their exercise program, problems are minimal. With all of the crazy traveling schedules and road time between tournaments, it is hard to stay on a regular exercise routine. |
| Dave has developed the Bowfit that will provide you with a warm up device, an exercise tool and a training aid that can build up your strength and endurance and help prevent injuries. With the assistance of my Bowfit, I now hunt at 70 lbs. with ease. It is absolutely incredible! Please try it for yourself. Joella Bates 5 time World Champion Pro Staff Shooter / Matthews Bows |

-"This product allowed me to start with low resistance and slowly increase thereafter. The Bowfit is a great strength trainer for bowhunting season." Brent B. NAHC Field Test. Sept. 2000. |

-" Upon receiving this product, I was skeptical, but after using the Bowfit I have noticed an improvement in my steadiness and my ability to hold at full-draw." Stephen P. NAHC Field Test. Sept. 2000. |

- " When the Bowfit landed on my desk, I jumped at the chance to get my shooting muscles in shape before I even picked up my bow for the season. It worked! I spent a few minutes exercising each day in my office. When it came time to start practicing with my bow, I was in much better shape than usual and didn't have have to suffer through getting those sore back muscles in shape while shooting. My point of aim didn't change through the initial weeks of practice, as it normally does as muscles begin to tone up and get in shape." Russ Thornberry, Vice Pres./ Exec.Editor Buckmasters Whitetail Magazine. |
 -" I am 12 yrs. old and this is my first year bowhunting. I was shooting 26 lbs. during the Winter and Spring 3D leagues but couldn't pull back a 40 lb. bow needed to hunt big game in Idaho. My neighbor, Dave Cole, gave me a Bowfit and had me exercise with it everyday for a couple of months before our antelope hunt. I got alot stronger and could easily pull my 40 lb. bow. I harvested my first big game animal, an antelope, on August 24, 2000." Kevin J. new Idaho bowhunter |

-" The Bowfit is an excellent archery exerciser that will honestly improve the upper body muscles for shooting a bow. Your strength and performance will increase. Three available resistance tubes makes this a wonderful product for all family members regardless of their skill level. The general instructions provided with the Bowfit provides a variety of exercises that gives a good work out to both arms. When visualizing a draw on a whitetail, exercising with Bowfit shouldn't get boring." R. Surprise, Missouri |

- " If you don't have one, get one. You'll use it more more than you can imagine". Patrick K. , Iowa |

- " I was suprised at the effectiveness of this product. I was skeptical at first because I am a big guy and wasn't sure I would get a workout sufficient enough to notice a difference. After the first time I did the exercises, I felt certain muscles tighten that I hadn't noticed with other types of workouts. I think this product is a definite must for the diligent archer, and especially for those who love archery but don't have the time to practice enough to build up strength and stamina." Todd J. , Michigan |

- "I am 58 and frequently have had shoulder problems in the past pulling a cold bow. I kept my Bowfit at work and exercise with it at my desk. My job is quite sedentary but using my Bowfit on breaks has made a difference in my shoulder strength and I have not pulled a muscle in the last three 3-D shoots, which have been in very cold weather." Gary W. New Mexico |

- " The Bowfit is a great piece of equipment. Before I tried the Bowfit, other than going to the gym, I would just go out and shoot my bow. having to start out a few shots at first and working up to more shots. , but with the Bowfit, I can practice and build up to the capacity of more shots. Now anytime, anyplace, any weather. It is sure to be one of my most prized pieces of bow equipment." Marion S., Oklahoma |

-" Short of actually drawing a bow, this is the best exerciser I've found for working all the muscles involved in shooting a bow. I can use it in my home or even while traveling!" Daniel K., New Hampshire |

- On Jan. 1998, I was in a vehicle accident in which I sustained a spinal injury. ( I had broke my back ) After my surgery and physical therapy, I slowly got back on my feet. I tried to go back to the sport I love most, which is archery, but found I was unable to draw back my PSE bow. I had all but given up any hope of being able to get back into the sport I loved. Then a wonderful thing happened. North American Hunting Club (NAHC) sent me a Bowfit to field test. I started using it in the evenings and after two months of working out with it regularly, I was able to draw back my bow set at 60 pounds. Bowfit strengthens the muscles needed to draw my bow and now I'm back into the sport of archery. I'm a serious bowhunter, who lives for archery season. When it's over, I am planning next seasons bowhunting trip. I would like to thank NAHC and Bowfit, you have no idea what you have given back to me! Thank you Bowfit. You have designed a very needed product for all archers." Terry G. Montana |
